Wow! I have seldom seen a more ill hive of bees.

Hello, you mentioned your unit kills the mites and the SHB. In regards to the SHB is it killing the beetle or the beetle larvae ?
Does it kill wax moth larvae/eggs as well ?

What kind of bees do you have there? Killer bees?

[Rbucks]

Nice. Is there any reason why you would not want to do this at dusk so all bees are in the box? Or after the insertion wait an hour or so for the bees to calm down and get more bees in the hive before treatment? Thanks

Hi Beehive folks! I have some concerns here. But, at 9:59 where you are doing your board evaluation you state that when a mite detaches from the bee/host it causes the bee to die? You lose a lot of credibility with statements like that as it simply isn't true. The colony was highly stressed and defensive after exposure to your thermal treatment which gives me pause. Smashing so many bees when you had to move so quickly certainly caused an alarm pheromone to be sent through the colony. I also notice that many of your viewers are asking questions that go unanswered which isn't a very good policy if you're trying to get something off the ground and accepted. Sorry, thumbs down on this approach though thermal systems may have some merit, just not in this way. Final note, don't make things up, it hurts the overall presentation for potential buyers.

Does not say much about this company.
They want to promote their product, but they fail to answer questions people have.
Makes you wonder what kind of service you will get with this kind of product or with this company.

Is this a 100% kill rate after one treatment.

Hello...I have been researching something very similar to your product. I have used supplemental heating in colonies for increased winter survival over the last 5 years. I use different wattages depending on colony size. I overwinter smaller colonies every year. I did have the idea of running further testing with summer applications for mite control. Do you have the wattage used by your product? Thanks for your valuable time and efforts!!!!
